Trying to replace the starter gear on the bike. Took the case cover off (forgive me if I use the wrong terms). I believe it's the primary chain (that wraps around the alternator? and clutch). We need to get the sprockets that are apart of the alternator off but it has a large nut holding it on and we can't figure out a way to keep the stuff from spinning on us. Any idea's on how to hold it so we can break that nut free? I can get some pics if need be.

Edit: can I assume this is a lefty loosy situation or is it reversed?

Edit2 Images:We pulled that cover off and behind it is where the nut we need to figure out how to get off is sitting.

Any specific weight? I read 20w-50 but they didn't mention for what year and it looked older than our 2008. Just curious what the manual suggests or if there is a more common option. I'm down in Central Texas so it gets pretty warm. Synthetic or non-synthetic?
